Job Description

The Director of Design will lead our design function across all product lines — Leasing, Market, Data, Activate, and Multifamily. This is a high‑visibility role reporting to the SVP of Product and working closely with Engineering, Product, and Executive Leadership. You'll shape the vision for design at VTS, grow and mentor a team of designers, and establish design as a strategic differentiator in our market.

  • Please note that this opportunity is located in New York, NY, and requires this hire to work from our office four days a week.

Here is what you can expect as a Design Director :

  • Lead, grow, and inspire a small but mighty team of product designers, setting clear goals and fostering career growth.
  • Drive the vision and strategy for design across the entire VTS product suite.
  • Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to deliver elegant, scalable, and user‑centered solutions.
  • Maintain a consistent discovery process — including generative research, usability testing, and design experiments — to validate decisions and measure impact.
  • Present design rationale to stakeholders and influence product and business decisions.
  • Foster a collaborative design culture that thrives in ambiguity and fast‑changing environments.
  • Explore AI and agentic design opportunities; collaborate with data and engineering teams to integrate intelligence into workflows.
  • Establish a design vision and strategy aligned with company objectives.
  • Deliver measurable improvements to usability, time‑to‑value, and customer satisfaction across products.
  • Launch updates to the design system that increase speed and consistency of delivery.
  • Build credibility as a trusted partner with Product, Engineering, and Executive stakeholders.
  • About You

  • 8+ years in product design with at least 3 years in a leadership role.
  • Proven success leading design teams in SaaS or B2B / B2B2C environments.
  • Strong portfolio showcasing end‑to‑end product design and design systems.
  • Experience running usability tests, experiments, design sprints, and data‑driven design iterations.
  • Excellent communication and storytelling skills; ability to influence at all levels.
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity and driving clarity in complex problem spaces.
